Jim Hart – vibes/drums Ivo Neame – piano/reeds

Multi-instrumentalists Jim Hart and Ivo Neame have been playing together since the beginning of the century. Both founder members of the Loop collective and members of each other’s bands, they have developed a superb empathy for one another’s playing – ’as if they are finishing each other’s sentences’. Their music is often rhythmically charged whilst being very fluid and open.

“Ivo Neame is one of the finest arrangers, composers and multi-instrumentalists of his generation”

Peter Quinn (The Arts Desk)

“I’m certain that Jim’s skills as drummer and vibraphone specialist, allied to his energy and creativity, will ensure that he emerges as one of the brightest stars on the UK and European Jazz scene.”
